Positive mental health.

It’s the business

Mental health is an indicator of how your organisation is operating. When you protect, promote and support it, everything improves and everyone wins.

It’s not a “nice to have” that sits in a corner. It’s an active tool that can help to create high performance organisations.

We’ll help you identify the root causes of stress.  With you we’ll develop plans to address them, and to create a proactive, positive culture where people can thrive.

The Business Case

Proven results!

We know our programmes work, because our clients tell us so. They’ve seen quantifiable improvements like:

  • Higher employee engagement
  • Lower absenteeism
  • Reduced attrition
  • Increased performance and productivity.

The effects are lasting, it’s good for your people and your organisation. It really is that simple.

Join us on the ‘Wellbeing Hour’ podcast with Cath Pendleton, “The Merthyr Mermaid,” a Guinness World Record-holding open water and ice swimmer from Wales. In February 2020, she became the first person to swim an ice mile inside the Antarctic Polar circle, a journey documented by the BBC. Discovering winter swimming in 2015 as a mental health strategy, Cath calls swimming her “Reset Button” and lives by the motto “To make Cath happy, just add cold water!” Her achievements include swimming the English Channel, winning bronze at the 2019 World Ice Swimming Championships, and becoming the first Welsh woman to complete an official Ice Mile. With 10 Ice Miles completed, Cath now enjoys freediving, mermaiding, and aspires to row the Atlantic before turning 60, inspiring others to embrace new challenges.
